Louisa Duggan, Ski Slope and Snowboard Centre boss, said: “This invoice is
nothing to do with us as we do not send out invoices for children who fail
to attend.

”If a child cannot make it we would normally offer the party more rides on the
attractions or to have the money put behind the bar for drinks and snacks.

”The cost that has been included on the invoice is for the slide and ride
party package and we would have offered the family extra goes on the tubing
and tobogganing.”

The incident sparked a Facebook slanging match between the two mums.

Mrs Lawrence says she was rattled at being confronted over the invoice then
accuses Alex’s mum of running away from her.

She posted: “This is not the first time Alex has not turned up to a party that
he has been invited to, either, the amicable way round this I believe would
be to pay me the money and let a lesson be learnt, I hope this is agreeable?”

Ms Walsh denies he has missed another party. She adds: “I don’t know why you
are out for our blood and slandering us. I’ve told you the reasons why alex
didn’t go. I also told you why I couldn’t call.

“Please do not state things as truth when you do not have all the facts. Maybe
if you actually spoke to me rather than making your own mind up about what
happened then none of this would be happening right now. If you had come up
to us the first day back and explained about the money, then I could have
explained about Alex, then maybe we could have sorted something out. Instead
you send an invoice.”
